Lewis: The ship arrived at an island where they found several marooned sailors. They were in horrible condition with terror in their eyes. They said it was an island where your dreams came true. The crew of the ship started talking about how great that would be. The marooned sailors said 'You fools. This is where your DREAMS come true, not your DAYDREAMS.' The crew thought for a few seconds and rushed to hoist the sails and get out of there. None of them could face what they'd seen in their dreams. “In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” ― George Orwell It's not over when you lose. It's over when you quit.

Getting up, going to work after a bad night is miserable. I’m retiring the end of December, looking forward to the end of getting up at 4:30 It is enjoyable to get up when I feel like it, not when the cock says I have to. The down side is that it is usually the second time.... The Dachshund at 2 is way younger than me, but still needs to get up during the night to pee. Like me.... We make the Lab-mix join us.

And sleep is what you desperately want and need after you wake up in the recliner at midnight and have to work all the next day. I'm gettin too old for this s***. I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

A Freudian slip? It’s been said that men often follow the wrong head…..in your situation I guess following your cock keeps you from wetting the bed. 😂 �Politicians are the lowest form of life on earth.

Closing down conscious activity, external inputs, etc, enabling sorting of information, consolidating and refreshing. Sleep deprivation being the opposite, resulting in confusion, hallucinations and ill health. It's maintenance time for your whole body.

There are people that have a genetic disease that strikes them as an adult, and it prevent them from ever reaching the type of sleep our brains need to regenerate. The death they suffer is pretty hideous and slow.
